Once in a long while (about every two years) Cem Kaner agrees to do a little corporate consulting and teaching. When he does, it’s through my company. Well, he tells me he’s going to be available this summer to teach his venerable Black Box Testing Class.

Considering his research agenda and university schedule, Cem is generally not available to teach anymore, outside of Florida Tech. However, he has continued to develop his testing class, much of which you can see online, now (see www.testingeducation.org).

If you don’t know Cem (http://www.kaner.com), he wrote Testing Computer Software, a book that influenced me quite a bit in the early 90’s. He was lead author for Lessons Learned in Software Testing. He has been a driving force in the development of the Context-Driven testing school– it was his idea. He also introduced the idea of small roundtable conferences (I call them peer conferences) to our industry, in ‘97, and today is pioneering the idea of free, universally available online testing training. Oh and he’s also a lawyer, so he can tell you a lot about the legal liabilities of software quality.

It’s possible that I will set up a public class for him. We haven’t decided, yet. But if you’re interested in bringing his class to your company, contact me, at james@satisfice.com.
